Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2004101071

Kind Code:

Abstract:

A system for delivery of agents into a living body includes a port assembly (20) having a cannula (34) extending from the mounting side (24), a port opening (26) away from the mounting side (24) and a resilient barrier (42) between the port (26) and the cannula.(34). An access hub (58) includes a connector (60) positionable at the port (26) for opening the resilient barrier (42).The access hub (58) is movable in the port assembly (20), is engaged therewith through a resilient ring coupling (76) and forms a seal with the resilient barrier (42), reducing the amount of volume to be primed. Inserters (148), both disposable and reusable, include the cannula insertion member (238) as part of the assembly. A spring loaded port driver (216) is operatively mounted within the housing (150)with movement controlled by a latch (176).
